I am sad to see one of the cities on my top five "must travel to soon list" under water. I guess it has been the worst flood in 20+ years. Ah... Venice... I hope you dry up soon. See more surreal photos here. (via v.)

Those pictures are incredible! I hope it is not a sign of things to come. The city still looks beautiful even under these terrible circumstances. Wishing them much sunshine to dry their homes & shops, & historical buildings!

I went to school in Amsterdam with the girl in the top photo! She was visiting Venice during the flood and her picture was snapped. I hope some of the governments plans will be able to save this beautiful city from sinking.
